Topic: Text after 2 years (Read 8486 times)

[BG.] I broke up with my ex about 2 years ago. It wasn't an amicable break up (showing up at my door, vile emails etc), which was completely out of the blue for me to be honest. He was really a good guy while we were dating, but I just didn't have any feelings anymore.

Today he's texted me really simple "yo, like to catch up? ". I don't know what the correct response is. The way I see it is1. not do anything, not acknowledge the text at all or 2. send the following text "I'd rather not, thank you".

If you'd rather not, than doing #1 sends the same message as #2 without the added risk of opening the door for conversation. If you send #2, he may bug you or ask why not or maybe even reply with anger for the rejection.

IMHO, you would do better to keep the break clean given how things ended. You are under no obligation to reply to him.

If you want nothing more to do with him than you silence will speak for itself.

I've decided to not reply at all. That is what I wanted to do anyway, but I didn't know if it was rude or not. To be honest, I am curious why he decided to text me out of the blue and after 2 years, but it isn't worth it to me.
